2013 Map of Millers Tavern

About this map

Millers Tavern sits at the junction of modern transport corridors in King and Queen County, where the Richmond Hwy intersects the routes leading toward Howertons and Powcan. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and minor waterways, most notably the meandering Dragon Run and its associated Dragon Swamp. This area preserves a traditional Tidewater settlement pattern, with small communities like Bruington, Pauls Crossroads, and Minor situated along the higher ground between expansive swamp systems. To the east, the Tappahannock-Essex County Airport marks a modern utility in this otherwise rural environment. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by family-named landmarks and water bodies, including Wrights Millpond, Dickeys Hill, and Ice House Pond. The map also details several crossing points such as Jones Bridge and Covington Bridge, which facilitate travel through the dense Mussel Swamp and Sturgeon Swamp systems that bracket the settlements.
